Family Bible Circle

Women of Pilgrim,

           In Family Bible Circle this month, we are comparing and contrasting Old Testament Laws with our freedom granted through Christ's life and death. Today we covered our roles as priests and the Sabbath in 2012. We delved into how a day of worship and reflection is relevant and necessary this day of age, even though it is no longer a law. As we finish 2012, we will continue to study Pastor Jeske's Grace Moments, Old and New.
          In 2013, we will be shifting gears. We are looking into a focused study of parenting topics, i.e. the Love and Logic series, home organization skills, or parenting books. We will follow this with our new Bible Study. We look forward to welcoming women of all ages for fellowship!

Family Bible Circle

Next Thursday, December 6th, Family Bible Circle will be starting a new Bible Study series using the Grace Moments booklet "Old and New". 

Does God have two completely different systems for dealing with people, and does He have two completely different sets of expectations and laws for human believers? Are the commandments in the Old Testament binding on people today?  How do both halves of the Bible fit together in a loving God's mission to regain his lost children? This study will help you appreciate God's presence in past millennia and help you know how you fit into his plans today.

Family Bible Circle is part of our Thursday Mornings For Moms

8:00 am Church is open for moms to visit and their toddlers to play in the basement (OR they can join the Prayer Gathering upstairs from 8:15-8:45)

9:00 am Moms have a half hour discussion on parenting topic

9:30 am Family Bible Circle - the one hour Bible Study "Old and New"

10:30 am Moms can continue to chat and kids can play until 11:15 when it's time to leave for pickup at the pre-school across the street

You can come for any part of our Thursday Mornings for Moms and leave whenever you'd like!

Bible Study on Esther

Esther Bible Study Our second Bible study on Esther will be held on Oct. 1^st at 6:30 p.m., with dinner at 6:00 p.m. If you missed the first Bible study we’d love for you to join us at Val Klika’s home to see how God uses good and evil to further His divine plan. Sorry Pilgrim School mom's, I didn't realize that our first Bible study was in conflict with a PTO meeting, hope you can make it to our next Bible study.

P.S. Servin' up beef and chicken enchiladas and nachos, so bring your appetite!

We have been blessed with a group of 45 women attending our retreat on Nov. 2&3! I'm including an updated version of our agenda along with the menu items that will be offered at Wave Pointe's restaurant, Gilmo's. We will all be enjoying lunch at Gilmo's, but you can choose to have your supper at Gilmo's, in your own suite, or at a restaurant in town.
